The Creation realizes there is no one like him and Victor causes his creation to say, "'I am alone and miserable: man will not associate with me; but one as deformed and horrible as myself would not deny herself to me. My companion must be of the same species and have the same defects. This being you must create'" (129). The monster would not have gone crazy if Victor would have done just a simple thing and create him a friend. When Victor's creation was made he says, "'When I looked around I saw and heard of none like me.
Examine the important concepts relating to justice and/or law and punishment Justice is about treating society fairly and equally. The government uses its authority to distribute a number of goods in society. The question of how these goods should be shared out comes under distributive justice. This is partially solved by the idea of a social contract which is described as “A minimalist theory of rights in which the individual is understood to be morally bound only by the ‘don’t harm me and I won’t harm you’ doctrine” Within justice there are two many lines of argument, individualist and communitarian theories. Ethicists use these two theories to argue whether the community or the individual is more important, question whether we should follow distributive justice should society just focus on protecting themselves without harming other people?
Law should be interpreted through the contextual analyses of what people do in law versus focusing on finding the essence of Law as it criticizes Legal Positivists for doing. It is also critical of how it disregards other social factors such as race, class and gender. From Legal Realism, Artifactualism adopts the belief that there should be a focus on what people in positions of law actually do instead of what they are supposed to do. Law is a platform for social interactions to occur and how civil servants carry out their duty is based on many influential powers and relations within society. It is also a means to find equality among the different members of society.
Civil Disobedience Civil disobedience dates back to the formation of the government organization, where the written constitution was formed. The written constitution is basically a contract between the government, and the people in which it sets forth laws and protects individual right. The framework of the laws, and rights set forth in the constitution is what makes the government orderly. Without order the United States would have an increase in all levels of crime and evil. Henry David Thoreau believed the government to be an unjust institution; he believed people should first do what they think is right, and not abide by the laws of the government.
Rape and Incest go hand in hand they are both betrayals of someone for the use of their bodies. To take someone’s privacy and their individuality away is horrendous. Being raped will take away self-esteem and sometimes that persons will to live. There is no such thing as a gentle rape. It is in your head forever no matter the level of violence included.
Comparing Ideologies Human Nature Although linked by the same discussion, each philosopher represented his own distinct Ideology. The debate of man’s innate logical character, is philosophy’s bloodiest battleground. The article offers a basic perception of the ideologies pertaining to renowned philosophers; (Hobbes, Rousseau, and Locke) Hobbes represents the cynical, dark view of human nature. Hobbes suggests humans are born with both passions and reason; our passions cause war and conflict, and our desire for better life persuades us to seek peace. He feels that our instinctive character is to be selfish, only caring of those pertaining to us.
This could mean murdering people, stealing from people, hurting people, etc. It would be a very scary world that people would create on the premise that they have the right to do whatever makes them happy, regardless of the consequences. In Lewis’ essay “We Have No Right to Happiness” he brings up this idea. He gives an example of two people, divorcing their spouses to be with each other, because they had the right to be happy. Lewis explains that this happiness is only “sexual happiness”.
I humbly bow to your attempt to challenge man to think beyond their own beliefs by simply questioning just what their beliefs are. You have revealed the concept that when man truly believes in something, he should undoubtedly be able to support his ideals. Your arrest though, proves my thesis that man is inherently evil especially when they arrest people for simply going against the majority. Should we just lie down and accept this relentless oppression? No, we should rally the minority and oppose those whom first opposed
Civil Bisobedience A quote regarding the role of the individual in society from Henry David Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience (1849) states that “If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law.” The question in regard to the individual inquires when one should disobey authority, if ever. Civil Disobedience is Thoreau’s way of not only implying, but putting directly forth his belief that, yes, in fact, one should disobey authority under certain circumstances; those circumstances subsisting for the better of society’s equality. The quote portrayed is informing that, if the law is requiring you to practice injusticeness and unfairness to another – due to
Both Hobbes and Locke, previously inspired by Aristotle, believed that government was artificial but necessary to protect men from death in exchange of giving up some rights. Locke in his ‘second Treatise of Government’ describes his ideal government as something that “it should be limited: it should only be strong to protect these three inalienable statesâ€2 referring to Life, Liberty and estate. The idea of Property was due to Montesquieu theory of division of authority in different and numerous
